Gwen will be forever remembered as a strong woman who treasured her independence and always put others ahead of herself. She found great serenity in her garden, enjoying nature and spending precious time with her family. Her gentle spirit and dedication to her career – still working at age 73! -will forever remain in the hearts and minds of those she leaves behind.

Gwen, you will be missed. Your generosity, love, human compassion and kindness were among a few of the things that will be missed. You are a power of example to me and I will always remember you. I love you Gwen.
